IDF soldiers spotted five Palestinian Authority terrorists attempting to dig under the partition fence west of the PA-controlled city of Kalkilya during the night. The force that was dispatched to the area of the attempted breach captured the five PA Arabs. They were handed over to intelligence agents for further interrogation.



In a search of the area of the would-be infiltration, soldiers found a gas balloon weighing 15 kilograms, useful for makeshift bombs such as those PA terrorists deployed against IDF or civilian targets. The balloon was destroyed in a controlled explosion.
